Mechatronic modeling and control of energy recovery in motorcycle tires

Abstract

Owing to the important function of motorcycle tire moving over different road profiles, this work aims to explore all the motorcycle tire parameters value and characteristics based on the tire dynamic by a new mechatronic approach. The proposed model was simulated using a 20-Sim analysis environment which has recently been recognized as a significant analyzed tool for motorcycle tire characteristics survey. However, this approach takes into account the dynamic parameters which are the limited rigid tire structure for safety rolling on a road by applying the Bond Graph inverse model for this motorcycle industrial tire connected to piezoelectric beams which can produce useful electric energy utile for moving by the energy lost in the motorcycle tire by the road longitudinal force. The simulation results for the bond graph model of motorcycle tire on a road class A were generated using the random function on 20-Sim software.
